"This Officer is one of a number of retired officers of the Royal Navy whose services the Royal Canadian Navy was fortunate to obtain at the outbreak of war. He first assisted in the organization of convoys. Subsequently in the period of rapid expansion resulting in a vast increase in the numbers of personnel of the Royal Canadian Navy, he has held progressively important personnel posts. The value to the service of this officer's great organizing ability cannot be overestimated."
